TOP TEN TIPS FOR GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR VISIT 1. Come on a preliminary visit. Admission is free for teachers on preliminary planning visits. Come and see what we have to offer. Ensure our facilities are suitable for your group – we can tailor visits to your needs. 2. Use our Hazard Identification Sheet to help you write your Risk Assessment. It has lots of general points about the site and is included in this pack. 3. Facilities: Toilets: are situated on the outside of the Visitor Centre. There is an accessible toilet also. Lunch arrangements: There are several picnic areas around the site, and we have a specially built class sized round picnic table so everyone can sit together! Please encourage your group to clean up after themselves. In wet or very cold weather we do have space available indoors. Café: Please ensure that children are accompanied in small groups should they need to use the café. (Open April – October) 4. Shop: Our shop has a range of pocket money items as well as sweets and various gifts. We recommend that only small accompanied groups of children visit the shop, as there may be other visitors in there as well. If you do not wish your group to visit the shop but would like to buy souvenirs, we can arrange for goody bags worth a specified amount (usually £2) to be made up in advance. Please inform us well in advance of your visit should you wish to take advantage of this service. 5. Group size and number of adult helpers: For our Health and Safety requirements in the mine we ask that students be in groups of 14 with a minimum of one adult helper per group. Groups staying on the surface may be in larger groups. Obviously if your group needs a higher ratio of adults please bring them. For guided visits a member of Killhope staff will be with your group for the whole visit. 6. Discipline: You and your adult helpers are responsible for your group’s behaviour at all times on the site. Whilst our Information Assistants lead the visit, they are not responsible for disciplining the group. They are entitled to insist on appropriate behaviour and will cut 11
